Chapter Seventy-two—The Attacker

Justin woke up the next morning to a barrage of phone calls and messages.A lot of it from some news stations looking to get an inside scoop as to why he stepped down, some from his lawyers and one message from detective Diaz telling him to pick up the phone.

The usual morning routine was to skip breakfast, the hottest cup of black coffee with a frown on his face, and a mountain of papers to attend to at the office. Now, he was in bed, not knowing what to do with his life.

His hand caressed his cheek, which still stung from the slap that had just landed on his face. Diaz gulped hard, also taken by surprise. “Gianna what the— “You dropped down??” She scoffed, “Seriously??

He staggered towards the bar area and grabbed another bottle of brandy, the empty one already discarded with shards of glass all over the floor. The once ever indomitable Justin Santiago, CEO of SAN limited and the first under thirty year old to make it to the Forbes billionaire’s list, now a depressed and heartbroken loser. It was an emergency board meeting, to which he made the deliberate decision to finally step down as CEO, despite raising the company from scratch to a multimillion dollar industry. The board of directors were beyond shocked, some even questioning his morals as he was queried about any pending criminal investigation for his sudden resignation. The employees of SAN Limited were also taken by storm, some jubilated, others weren’t so happy. Justin Santiago was an asshole, but he was a good paying asshole and they feared for their jobs.

He heard the words ring in his head as she pointed at the door for him to leave. Suddenly, the image of a baby in it’s mother’s arms, suckling on her teat flashed through his mind. “You should kill me.” He said, resigning to his fate. “What?” Gianna stared at him, wide eyed and thinking he was crazy. “I don’t deserve to live. You should kill me and get it over with.” He said, he still wouldn’t look her in the eye. “Just leave Justin.” She sniffled, the sorrow just too much to bear with him around. “I will.” He said, his nostrils all clogged up, “Gianna what can I do?” She raised her hands in mock surrender, “What?

He’d been crying, she noticed the tear lines on his cheek. Like a wounded animal, Justin glared at Rowan Maldov who’d just rose to his feet. His eyes trailed to the bottle of wine, and then the half eaten baking dish of chicken pot pie. Bastard, he thought as he lunged at Maldov punching him hard on the face.

Gianna squirmed, “What are you doing here?” He frowned, “What, am I—“ He nudged his head to the side to get a glimpse of her apartment, “Are you making dinner?” She still had her apron on, she quickly loosened from her neck and waist, a frantic effort alerting Aiden that something was aloof, “Yeah I…I just wanted to make a quick meal.” Smiling now, he ushered himself in, “It’s a good thing I came then.
